Gregg's

On a trip to the bank, I saw evidence that things really are getting back to normal - a group of happy al fresco diners outside Gregg's bakery.

Possibly the most famous "Pop Artist" of all time was Andy Warhol.  A few years ago I really enjoyed visiting his museum in his home town of Pittsburgh, which I think is one of the very best art museums dedicated to a single artist.

Not only did Warhol's art celebrate commercial popular culture, he turned his artistic career into an industry, using mechanical production techniques. In Marilyn Diptych (1962) he used a solo printing process called "serigraphy" to reproduce 60 not quite identical versions of the same famous portrait. He never signed his work and used a team of assistants to realise his ideas, in a Greenwich Village studio renamed "the Factory."
